starling n' olive
ive been playing around with the starling. man is it one sweet soft hackle material here's just a basic little pattern that i feel should be productive
 ingrediants: hook: mustad size 18 thread: olive dun 8/0 thorax: golden ice dubbing for a little flash hackle: starling (yum yum  )instructions: 1. starth thread about mid shank 2. wrap thread up and down shank to around bend (or your personal preference) 3. goa about 1/4 behind hook eye and dub a small thorax. 4. tie in starling hackle by bottom and take 1-2 wraps 5. build up a head. whip finish and head cement quick easy tie which i think should be a good pattern landon

That's a good looking fly. Very well proportioned. Tie yourself a bunch of them. You'll need them.
